How the Camel got his Hump (Robert James)

How the Camel got his Hump (Robert James)

Have you ever wondered why camels have humps on their backs? This charming retelling of a classic fable explains it through the story of a very lazy camel. Long ago, the camel refused to work, so a magical Jinni gave him a “humph” that turned into a real hump! It is a humorous tale that teaches children about the consequences of being idle. The simple language makes it an excellent resource for early readers.
